Thanks, Tod,
That looks to me like a pretty awesome day out with family!
Thousands of Citiots would call it all sorts of names, but man, keep on, keepin' on. The world needs more kids that know where food really comes from!
Good on ya!

Lynx Quesadillas for dinner tonight (cheddar, serrano peppers and a homemade salsa) They were really good! Texture of the meat is a bit tougher than chicken, but otherwise you'd have a hard time telling the difference.

I don’t think I could do it. Some of my most poignant animal encounters in the bush have been with lynx. I’ll never forget the time a lynx and three of its kittens walked out feet from me on a seismic line and the momma gave me a sideways glare and they kept on trucking
Fill your boots though, happy to see it was eaten. I was working with a woman who was raised in a cabin in the bush north of anahim lake in the 70’s last summer. She told me that they used to eat lynx off the trap line. When I asked how they tasted she responded “ I dunno? Like meat?”
I think there’s an east African saying along those lines “ all meat is meat” or something, but googling it isn’t giving me anything so maybe I made it up

Congrats on an awesome hunt with your family. Thanks for sharing the story and pics!
Have taken a couple of lynx over the years; one with a 218 Bee and one with the 17 Mach II.
Have seen many while working in the oilpatch over the years, and while hunting other game.
Very cool animals.
One fall while elk hunting, we were walking down a trail out in the community pasture, and as I came around a turn in the trail, I thought I had seen a orange cat go around the next turn ahead of me. Nothing seen after making the next turn in the trail, but on the next turn I saw it again. It turned out to be an orangish spotted lynx kitten. It was still travelling at a good pace ahead of me, and when I finally caught up to it where the trail met the fence line and T's in both directions, the kitten was playing in a patch of tall red clover. I was about 3 yards from it, but it was so engrossed in its play that it didn't notice me at all. My hunting partner finally caught up to me, and I motioned him to come up to me slowly, as I was close the the kitten, and its young mother was sitting on the left trail along the fenceline, about 10 yards from me, just watching me and her kitten. We both stood there watching the kitchen play in the clover for a few minutes, until it finally bored of that and approached its mother. It was a little surprised when it finally turned and noticed us standing there! They stayed there a few moments longer, and then the mother led the kitten off the trail into the bush and were gone. Such a cool encounter! Was fun to see and experience.
Form the size of the mother and the age of the kitten in late September, it must have been a first time mother with her first kitten, born late in the year.
